Vita 34 - From Germany to Europe

From a German cord blood bank to an internationally acting business – that describes the development of Vita 34 in the past years. With the help of cooperation partners and by means of acquisitions, Vita 34 continuously opens up new attractive markets in Europe. However, Vita 34 acts also beyond European borders in China, Vietnam, and South America. At present, Vita 34 operates in 26 countries in Europe and worldwide. The expansion of activities on international markets formed what we call today the Vita 34 family.

Partners and subsidiaries of Vita 34 in Europe

The roots of Vita 34 lie in Leipzig in the heart of Germany. This is where the idea originated from in 1997: Every child should get the chance to have its own stem cell deposit – and thereby therapeutic options on the basis of stem cells in case of a disease. All this not only in Germany, but in numerous countries all over Europe and the world too …

An integral part of business operations is the business abroad through subsidiaries and partners. Supported by partners from Italy, Spain, the Baltic States, Scandinavia and the Balkan States, Vita 34 continuously opens up new and attractive markets. Vita 34 has expanded activities on international markets constantly in the past years and established a distribution alliance in most parts of Europe. At present, Vita 34 operates in Germany and altogether 26 countries in Europe and worldwide, owns approximately 2,000 contracts on the collection of umbilical cord blood and tissue with maternity institutions and collaborates with about 15,000 gynecologists.

Based on many years of experience in the preparation and preservation of stem cells, Vita 34 provides partners with the necessary knowledge to the cooperation. Not only do they need to lay the technical foundations for the storage of stem cells from umbilical cord blood and tissue, but they also have to optimize the processes in order to ensure the highest quality and safety, as this is the only possibility for later application to patients.

Vita 34 therefore choses its partners very carefully. Only who passes the exhaustive examination and complies with the high quality demands of stem cell preparations, becomes part of the Vita 34 network and benefits from the great knowhow and many years of experience. Along the way, Vita 34 sets standards by means of this selection process – not only in Europe, but worldwide.

* The quantity of umbilical cord blood collected depends on individual influencing factors. Blood volume and cell count may vary considerably. A minimum quantity is required to set up a private deposit and to donate publicly, which can be collected only in a portion of all collections according to our experience. This is finally determined only after the collected blood was tested at the laboratory.
